SAVAGE GRACE

Savage Grace opens in limited release this weekend. Lots of buzz on this one. It's the decadent but true story of the very left-of-center and dysfunctional Baekeland family, heirs to a plastics-business empire. Julianne Moore stars as a woman who marries to improve her situation, has a gay son, tries to control him for her own gain and then all hell breaks loose. Incest, bedlam and all kinds of craziness ensues. Rolling Stone calls it "a twisted mesmerizer of a movie."

LOST SEASON FINALE DELIVERS

I have been pretty critical of this season of LOST, but I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfying the season finale was tonight. While showing us how the six survivors get off the island, why and how others were left behind, who is in the coffin - LOCKE!! - how Jin died, and other juicy tidbits, we are left with pretty cool cliff hangers. Where the heck did the island disappear to? Why do all six survivors have the return to the island? What terrible things occurred after the six left? Good stuff!

DAVID ARCHULETA

I enjoyed Archie from the first time I saw him on Idol. I'm loving all the appearances he and Cook are making after the Finale show on Idol. It's obvious the two genuinely like and respect each other. Archie may not have won the contest, but he's got a big career ahead of him. Though I've been chided for supporting Archie, I think the boy is awesome. Many folks think he's too vanilla. Well, sometimes you want a Disney movie, i.e. Archie, and sometimes you want something a little edgier, i.e. Cook. Given the right producer, Archie can easily graduate from some of those so-called blander sounds. Regardless, he's got an awesome talent.

STEP IT UP - OSCAR'S OUT AGAIN!

Well, Oscar made it back into the competition on Step It Up and Dance only to last one more episode. Unfortunately the challenge was more pop/hip-hop choreography and Oscar is more of a "formal" dancer. I will miss his personality and his quips. Miquel can take over again as the gayest dancer of them all. Check out Oscar's final thoughts below.

JUSTICE SERVED ON AMERICAN IDOL

My faith in the voting public of American Idol has been restored with the coronation of David Cook as the winner by 12 million votes! I even voted the for the winning song, penned by Nashville songwriter, Reggie Hamm. It was the least cheesy and has a nice melody and tempo. D. Cook did a great job of the winning song. Too bad the show did not give the winning song writer credit on the air.

The gays could not have been more in a tizzy with the finale show with performances by Disco Diva, Donna Summer (download the new cd), George Michael with a truly heartfelt turn, and Carrie Underwood looking like a fabulous lipstick drag queen and sounding awesome!

David Cook rocks on!

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES FINALE - WAY GAY

Wisteria Lane's token gay couple, Bob and Lee, were at the center of all of the action in last night's great season finale of Desperate Housewives. From Bree and Katherine catering the boy's commitment ceremony, to Tom's bad marital advice to the guys, then Tom's great marital advice to the guys, to the whole event getting wrecked by Adam's attempt to rescue Katherine from her crazy ex.

I had begun to wonder why the guys were so under used by out creator/writer, Marc Cherry, so it was good that they finally got some screen time.

But, with no flash forward on Bob and Lee at the end of the episode, we will have to wait and see if they last on Wisteria Lane five years in the future.

OSCAR IS BACK, BITCH!

So who is gayer on Bravo's dance reality competition, STEP IT UP AND DANCE. Oscar or Miguel? It's a very close call. Oscar's candle was snuffed out a couple of weeks ago only to be reignited this week when the eliminated dancers were brought back as partners for the remaining contestants in a Latin dance challenge. One of the eliminated dancers earned a chance to return to the competition and one of our most flamboyant own boys won that right.

Now Miguel has to again compete with Oscar for the "gayest dancer on earth" title. You go girl!

REAL WORLD - NO GAY ZONE

Oddly enough it seems like progress that there are no gay house-mates among the chosen seven on this season's REAL WORLD - HOLLYWOOD. From the beginning of the show it seemed like there was always one token gay in the bunch. It became sort of cliche every season.

The Hollywood house is apparently a gay-free zone and maybe that is a sign that we have evolved beyond being used just for token representation. Judging from the sexed crazed alcoholics in this cast, I am actually glad that we are not represented.

A SHOT AT LOVE WITH TILA TEQUILA

In the words of Graham Norton - "it's horrible television. Riveting." Yes. I watch it every week. I am ashamed to admit that for every "The Tudors" and "John Adams" I watch, there is a "Viva Hollywood" and "A Shot At Love".

If you are not familiar, an Asian pseudo-my space celebrity-stripper-bisexual d-lister becomes the bachelorette in a dating competition that pits straight guys against lesbians all vying for Tila's love and attention.

All of the guys are either creepy stalker types or the worst obnoxious frat boy types you can imagine. Most of the women, at least, are interesting. There are butchies and femmies both and Tila loves them all. But most of all she loves herself, her boobs, her butt, etc.

I can't explain why I watch every week other than you can't find a better train wreck on tv where people actually don't get hurt. Well....actually one did this week when two frat boys taunted each other until the idiot known as Chad head-butted the dim-witted Beau.

And in the words of the beloved Kathy Griffin, to watch it all "is like a hug from Jesus."

REAL WORLD TRAIN WRECK

I "just happened to be watching" this week's episode of The Real World Hollywood and I it got very uncomfortable watching Joey's downward alcoholic spiral. The all night drinking binge felt very exploitive of this guy's obvious serious drinking issues. I almost turned it off....but after the prolonged drinking scenes, the producers of the show did step in and offer to take him to a 30 day rehab program. Luckily he accepted and admitted his problems.

I guess it is good for young viewers to see his downfall and rescue as a warning and lesson. But the show did straddle the fence a little between exploitation and responsibility in my opinion.
